modem's port should be default COM3 of course you cant set this manually so you pop in the CD that should come with it and install the driver it will set the Modem to COM3

type msinfo32 to find out what modem you have.......and then go to driversall.com and download the driver for it......if you have any disks for the pc the driver maybe on them.......>recovery disks>

DLoad and run Everest Home and run it on that machine...it will tell you exactly which components it has . you can then do a search for the proper drivers.

Windows98 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 26, 2005, 05:29:02 PM »

As long as It is compatible check the dates. Lt Win modem should be the same with Driversguide.com at least you can select the latest make sure you have the right OS though

Jason Wilson · « **Reply #13 on:** October 26, 2005, 05:33:10 PM »

how do i check the dates?

Windows98 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 26, 2005, 05:37:19 PM »

merlin_2 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 26, 2005, 05:37:59 PM »

click the add hardware icon...........its in the control panel.....now scroll down the list......modem......let windows search for the drivers.....you must have the drivers some where on a cdrom/floppy disk......ask the old parents......for it....

Jason Wilson · « **Reply #16 on:** October 26, 2005, 05:40:06 PM »

The first one on this list should do. If it ask you to sign in before download use:

User: drivers
Password: all

Jason Wilson · « **Reply #18 on:** October 26, 2005, 05:46:33 PM »

it looks good but i see the word upgrade by it what does that mean?

Windows98 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 26, 2005, 05:48:22 PM »

This driver was released in 2000 My computer was built in 1999 so upgrade means that If I had an old driver im just upgrading to a new driver. But since you don't have a driver then you are just installing it.

jason wilson · « **Reply #29 on:** October 26, 2005, 06:29:42 PM »

what are the chances of the driver working? so i don't have to get another one and go crazy

Windows98 · « **Reply #30 on:** October 26, 2005, 06:33:07 PM »

Getting a Driver for LT Win modem is easy Trying to get it to the right COM port is hard

On systems with 2 built-in com ports and an internal modem, the only safe com port you can use is one that is not an even or odd number as is the modem. So if your modem is com1 you cannot use com3, if its com2 you can not use com4.

Further, if your mouse is connected to a serial port it works as above with the modem. If the mouse is on com1 then using the com3 will cause problems, if its on com2 using the com4 will cause problems.

jason wilson · « **Reply #31 on:** October 26, 2005, 06:35:50 PM »

i am confused!

Windows98 · « **Reply #32 on:** October 26, 2005, 06:45:02 PM »

Wel lets not worry about that right now just install the driver for the modem and see will it work first. If you get a Port is in use when trying to dial up to the internet or no dial tone that just means we heve to change the COM port of the modem If it is only a driver issue then you shouldn't worry about it unless you get one of those two messages.

jason wilson · « **Reply #33 on:** October 26, 2005, 06:48:34 PM »

thank you sooo much! do u think a driver would fit on a blank disk?

Windows98 · « **Reply #34 on:** October 26, 2005, 07:03:56 PM »

Jason Wilson · « **Reply #35 on:** October 26, 2005, 07:13:24 PM »

Jason Wilson · « **Reply #36 on:** October 27, 2005, 10:43:30 AM »

Fed · « **Reply #37 on:** October 28, 2005, 12:26:56 AM »
